Polly Williams’s fourth novel, How To Be Married, was due to be released in May this year (under the title The World’s Worst Wife) but was instead delayed until 4th March 2010 due to Polly moving publishers from Sphere to Headline. We now have the rather beautiful cover which is miles better than The World’s Worst Wife cover! Here’s the synopsis for How To Be Married:

Domestic goddess? Yummy mummy? Having it all? It’s impossible. It’s hard to be a woman. It’s even harder to be a wife…

Sadie Drew thinks she must be the world’s worst wife. She only needs to walk into a room to make it untidy. She wears flannel pyjamas in bed. She can’t cook. Furry things live in her fridge. But she’s a busy, working mother not a wifebot, and her husband Tom loves her as she is. Until he gets a new, high-pressure job and things start to change.

There are his colleagues’ terrifying uber-wives to entertain. Tom works later and later. Then there are the endless rows, and the smell of another woman’s perfume on his suit. Sadie has a choice: risk losing everything or transform herself into the perfect wife.

What is a perfect wife anyway?
